I'm worth it!

I had such a superiffic, fantabulous, ridiculously amazing day today!!!

Today started the first round of interviews for the Coach’s Apprentice positions at work. I was super excited and super terrified all at the same time. But I was ready!

Last night I made myself a set of note cards to use as cue cards at the interview. My Coach, Kassie, had given those of us on her team that applied a list of some questions to expect at the interview. I had put each question on a note card and then jotted notes for each one for my answer (I had answered each one fully on a piece of paper prior). I also had cards for different areas of the position that I feel I qualify for and had noted under each one what prior job or experience I had acquired that skill from. I was ready….but very nervous.

I was off chats early enough before my interview that I was able to get a mini pep talk through texts from a very dear friend and words of encouragement from a couple of other dear friends. Their words of encouragement and support helped me calm down enough that Erin, the interviewer, didn’t even notice I was nervous.  Woohoo!

I know I can be an awesome coach. With all the positive changes I have been making in myself and my life, my determination and motivation, my enthusiasm and awesome confidence….how can I not be?

I have a Facebook page and a Facebook group both called Awakening to Life. I post my blog entries, daily positive affirmation, my daily MITs (most important tasks), and many other positive and uplifting things to both the page and the group. Those in the group are absolutely wonderful and I love them all to pieces (sends each of them a huge bear hug). They are so supportive of each other that it makes me so incredibly proud of each of them when I go to the group and read what has been going on. When I have a down day, I know they are there to help me lift myself back up. It is my goal to have a team that can be as supportive and encouraging as the wonderful people in my group.

So anyway, after the interview went so incredibly well I felt just so super great! On my drive home I started thinking about who I was and where I was in my life just a couple of months ago. In December, I was a depressed, quiet and miserable no one. Now, here I am!  Look at me world!  I am happy! I am confident! I am loving who I am and where my life is and where it is heading! My outgoingness (which I have NEVER had before) now embarrasses my 17 year old son!  Yay me!!! 

As I was reflecting on all of the wonderful changes I have made in myself and my life just in the past two months, it hit me that even if I don’t get the CA job, I have so much more to be proud of myself for in just the last two months than most people have in a lifetime. I am finally being the me that I have always known I could be but was just too damn afraid and depressed to be. I am finally enjoying life and enjoying it more and more every day. Things that used to irritate me and get me mad….I laugh at and just move on.  I have taken so many huge steps lately and have come out a better person because of it. I love who I am and who I will be and I have never been able to say that before!

I took my parents and my kids out to dinner tonight to celebrate!!!
